Too many crimes to investigate them all -

police look for new ways to tackle illegal images online.

Jail for the couple who drugged and abused

And after a fairly miserable Monday, I'll be here with your weather for

the week ahead. There are too many crimes

to investigate them all - that's the police's view

of the shocking rise They suspect 2900

people have accessed indecent images of children

in our region in For example, in Northamptonshire,

there was a 640% And in Bedfordshire, two to three

people are being arrested each week. The Cambridge professor found

with nearly 2000 indecent images Last week, Simon Jarvis given a 12

month suspended sentence. Police forces in our region

following up thousands of crimes At the cyber unit in

Bedford, a seized phone is examined to see what

has been downloaded. Officers here say they

have to prioritise. We obviously can't investigate

every one of those. We have to identify those we can

make a meaningful outcome with and those we are able

to do something with. So, demand placed

on us is increasing. We are duty-bound

with our partners, to identify how we can respond

to those reported crimes. This is a hard drive that

has been confiscated. The boxes and shelves

here are full of them, along with computers, laptops,

all kinds of devices. Here in Bedfordshire,

2-3 people a week are arrested for indecent

images offences. In the back of my mind,

I always thought that... One day, I would get that

knock on the door... Real stories, words

voiced by actors. A film by a child protection charity

I might end up on a sexual Nikki Owen works with

the Bedfordshire cybercrime team. One man arrested telling her he's

already sought help. He did say he had contacted the Lucy

for some time and they He didn't know they existed and had

signed up with them for a course. Norfolk's Chief Constable

an exercise in arrest, While we're doing more

than any other country in the world in this field,

we cannot arrest our way out of it. A crime on the increase,

Look East, Bedford. The Lucy Faithfull Foundation

is helping offenders to stop. Donald Findlater from the charity

explained to me how viewing regular pornography online can act

as a gateway to illegal content. We've worked with over 2000 of those

individuals over the last Three quarters of those men migrated

from looking at sexual material of adults to sexual

material of teenagers So, there is certainly

a gateway affect and the boundary that, frankly,

on the Internet, is not marked. Would you like to see

Internet providers Presumably they can trace

what website you are going onto. Those industry players are already

part of the solution, they work on the Internet watch

foundation and have financial They support us in

pushing our adverts, splash pages that if someone

is looking to access indecent images that currently exist of children,

they will get a message from their Internet service provider or indeed

from Google to say that this such material is illegal,

directing them to our There is already some

action going on there, but I have absolutely no doubt

there is more than the Donald, what should

somebody do if they are concerned about their preferences

online or someone they know? Where we have operators dealing

with a confidential service. This isn't about getting caught,

this is about getting help to stop. Call the Stop It Now

helpline, 0808 1000 900. We have an anonymous

confidential online resource, called Stop It Now, Get Help,

where there is a self treatment programme

to help people who realise they've got a problem

in this area to actually start

to consider how they take control of their Internet lives so they don't

do any further harm. Don't wait till the knock

on the door from the police officer, do something today to make

sure that behaviour stops An inquest's heard a prisoner

was found hanging at Woodhill Jail in Milton Keynes six minutes

after he should been checked. Prison officers were supposed

to observe 45-year-old Woodhill has one of the worst

records for self inflicted deaths across the prison service -

with 18 since May 2013. Police are still searching for a man

they believe was involved in a crash at the weekend which left

two people dead. The A605 near Peterborough

was closed for several hours after the accident in the early

hours of Sunday morning. Two people were killed and one

was seriously injured, but it's believed another man

was in the car. It's not known whether

he was the driver. A couple have been jailed for raping

and drugging children. Nicholas Taylor had painted himself

as a reformed criminal who visited schools to warn children

of the risks of a life of crime. But at his home in Northampton

he and his wife drugged, raped, sexually abused and assaulted 11

children over a decade Once victim told the court

that she had tried to kill herself Today at Leicester Crown Court,

Joan Taylor was given an 18 year sentence,

and will serve nine in prison. Nicholas Taylor was jailed for life,

with a minimum term of 18 years. The sentences were welcomed by child

protection campaigners. We need to make sure

all children understand child sexual abuse has

no place in society and who they can send

you if The Taylors were

adept at using guilt and shame to prevent

their victims coming forward. That is why it is vital,

if anyone is worried about a child, please come

forward with information. The judge said that

Joan Taylor had shown remorse and had been under the control

of her husband. But Nicholas Taylor he said

was "a very, very dangerous man" As he was led away Taylor

gave a thumbs up and Politics now - and with the local

elections over, campaigning for the General Election has

begun in earnest. So with a month to go,

what are the key issues We are in the Northamptonshire

with the weather for the week ahead. Overnight tonight, it will be

largely dry but we will still have this feed of cloud in the a little

bit of light rain and drizzle, and we may get some clear spells

so temperatures under Possibly down to three Celsius,

which is low enough for a I think, for most of us,

it'll be a frost free night and tomorrow, again, a largely

cloudy but largely dry day. Temperatures very dependent

on any sunshine we get. Where the sunshine breaks

through, we could see Lighter winds tomorrow compared

to today and we finish the day As for Wednesday, high

pressure in charge and the better weather

is when the clouds break up Consequently, higher

temperatures, too. We could beat these values in

the best of the sunshine, 17 Celsius, 63 Fahrenheit is not out of

the question. As for the end of the week,

the weather very dependent on how quickly this weather front

pushes up from the south. At the moment, on Thursday,

getting off to a dry start with some sunny spells but

we are expecting some cloud to pick up from the south and

that may well produce some showery rain for some of us

Friday with the cloudy In a moment, the national

forecast but I will leave It does look like we will have some

dry weather with sunny spells but some bands of rain,

showers moving north eastwards. will become drier and feel warm. Now

the National forecast. Good evening. A quiet day on the

weather front but we still managed to have some huge contrasts in the

weather. This was a beautiful picture from Cumbria, blue skies and

crystal clear blue skies in Argyll and Bute but closer to the north

coast, it sends shivers down your spine! Chilly and cloudy all along

that cost this bank of cloud that sliced the country in half, cool and

cloudy to the east and to the West had sunshine. But it still been dry

and it will stay that way for most of the week. As we get into Friday,

there is some rain on the way. In the short-term, not much happening

in the next few hours, quite a bit of cloud in most of England and

Wales but many northern and western parts, the stars are out.

Temperatures not too low, six or 7 degrees, maybe a
